Course Notes:

• If you need to get your relevant documents into your Litigation database after having reviewed them in a Discovery database, you can leverage the Nextpoint Exchange feature
• Organize your Litigation database with the proper folders and folder categories for different areas of the litigation process (witnesses, exhibits, depositions, productions, etc.)
• Once you have your exhibits organized in the order that you would like in a folder, you will need to create an exhibit stamp template to use to give these documents exhibit stamps
• Customize an exhibit export template to your specifications
• You can now export your exhibit folder (click the ellipses to the right of the folder -> click export -> choose your export template -> export) and share it via email with whoever you choose
• This article should show you how to import your depositions and proceedings into your Litigation database from the File Room
  Remember, when importing a video deposition, the process is to 1) import your sync file (transcript), 2) import your video file, 3) marry them together
• You may want to hyperlink exhibits to portions of your transcripts
• Once you have completed your imports successfully, you can begin creating designation and objection clips
• You can also create custom reports to export your designations
• Users often will use the Litigation suite as a transcript repository by transferring their transcripts into a central location to allow them to conduct research on while preparing for future cases/depositions
• You can use Nextpoint Theater mode to create and download treatments that you can use in PowerPoint presentations for opening/closing arguments, or it can be used to call things out when presenting live in the court room or via Zoom (as long as there is a stable internet connection)
